Great value, important insight.
Excellent book that provides summaries of other books in the Ed Leadership domain. This book contains summaries of about 15 books...easy reading, quick reference.

Jossey-Bass Reader
Book is a text for a master's class. It is very informative, taking excerpts from books by proven leaders and leadership teams. Not for pleasure, it's great if you're on the move up the ladder.
